Nebraska, have useful Improvements in Dish-.Washing Mahereby declare the follow invented certain new, and

and exactdescripticn as will enable others skilledin th art towhich it appertains to make and. use the same. t Thejpresent invention is provements in dish washing machines, and

has for lts object to so construct a deviceofthislcharacter that a number of dishes'may .be placed therein and thoroughly Washed withlittle exertion upon the part'of the op a crater. 5

AI further object of the invention is to provide a portable apparatus of this char ,acter which le exceedingly mplein con struction, inexpensive and efieetivein op eration. v Wll'ih these and other objects in view, this invention resides inthe novel features of construction, formatinn, combination and ar=' rangement of parts to he hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, in Which:-'

Figure 1 "s a vertical sectional view through the device. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the dish containing receptacle. Fig.

is a similarvievv of the main receptacle.

h ailing aashoulder face 9 of the shaft '10, said shaft having fixed to its upper end a pinion 11 which nieshes' with a nionnted upon appear later. truncated and spindle 5, which engagestlre bearing 3.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the main receptacle, which is preferably formed from sheet metal and is circular information. Fixed to the bottom] of thereceptacle 1 in any sultable manner, a truncated. cone 2, Which is formed also,

from sheet 1m etal and has fixed to its upper end a bearing 3,,

the purpose of Whichwill The revoluhle cone l, is also has fined to its minor. end a The spindle 5 is provided witlf'an attaching flange 61 and central. socket 7, said socket for engaging the flat gear which is revolubly the brace str p 13 carried by State of directed to imthereof servin .the cover '14. The cone dis provided with a pair of spiral ribs 15 which. serve, when said cone 1S rotated to rc'j'ect the Water contained in the machine outwardly.

Ba ret-ably mounted in the'main receptaol I 1 is a containing receptacle 16,

whichisj bottomless' and supports the lower h end of the wircmesh triihca' ed cone 17, the upper end of which is p'rovided with a protec'ting' band 18, which prevents collapsing of the upper end of the cone 17. The dishes are placed in the annular space formed between the wallet the receptacle 16 and the mesh cone l7, whereupon the crank handle 1%? is berated, whereby, through jthefme- (hum o the gear 12 and pinion 11 the shaft Allis-rapidly rotated, thus transmitting ro- ;tary movement to the cone 4., the spiral ribs the dishes.

Further it will be noted thatthe dishes are Washed .upon merely placing boiling Water in the receptacle 16, and rapidly rotating the cone a. After the dishes have been washed and it is desired to dry the same the cover 14 is removed and the receptacles 16 elevated so that the lowermost dishes Will clear the Water level, Whereupon the handle brackets 20 are swung 111 Wardly until their lower-ends rest upon the upper edge of the main receptacle 1. When the parts are 'inthis position the dishes are the bottom of the said receptacle or to be maintained in spaced relation thereto, and

said dish conthrough per maintain the rods pivotally mounted on the tainer and adapted to extend iterations in the re eptacle to to project the water against the said dish container containerin a predetermined position with relation to the receptacle when the conminer rests on the bottom thereof and to be swung inwardly to engage the upper edge of the said receptacle to maintain the dish container in its uppermost position in spaced. relation to the bottom of the receptacle.

In testimony whereof, I aiiix my signature,i1 1 the presence of two Witnesses.
